Hi group,

I think about getting a DVB-S card for my MYthTV server.
Currently I am using a PVR350 and it performs well.
I want to upgrade to DVB-S without removing my PVR350.
I am a DVB-S novice. I don't have ANY hardware yet.
I think about getting two DVB-S cards for the server.
But I only have one PCI-Slot left.
Yesterday I saw that there are dual PVB-S cards available, which would be the 
solution for my slot problem.
I found the "TV-Karte, PCI, Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-S Pro 4000i PCI", but found 
no note if it is supported or not by linux after some research by google and 
on the v4l homepage. In the mythtv docu I found the link to the "DVB Setup 
guide" and found the note that not all DVB-S cards work with anlouge cards 
like my PVR350 :-(
So hopefully someone can give a hint for a good and supported Dual DVB-S Tuner 
card that also works with MythTV and my PVR350 ?
By the way I am using Suse9.3 and using kernel "2.6.11.4-21.10-default", in 
case it is important.

I know that this is a often asked "what hardware should I use for mythtv", but 
I found no answer until now for this :-(

Thanks for your hints.
Juergen
